Frank Zorc of 2044 DeLeon Avenue felt the Port St. Lucie problem made everyone <br />aware of the problem. He noted that Piper and the City of Vero Beach have taken steps to <br />clean up that contamination but nothing has ever been done to study whether these chemical <br />contaminants harmed anyone in this County. <br />Mike Galanis, Director of Environmental Health, noted that most of the TCE is now <br />gone but TCE has just this year been placed on the cancer-causing agent list. St. Lucie <br />County has a very interested body of citizenry but no association of cancer clusters or any <br />chemical identified. He stated that the Division of Health is asking for specific funds to <br />study cluster -type situations. <br />Jean Kline, Health Department Administrator, stated that Department of Health <br />figures do not indicate an increase or variation in the rates of cancers but they would like to <br />have more people study the figures and come back with a more formal report. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There <br />being none, the Chairman closed the public discussion. <br />Chairman Tippin thanked the Harbor Branch representatives for their very <br />enlightening discussion. <br />CONSENSUS was reached to wait for Jean Kline's further report before taking any <br />action. <br />9.B.2.
